I can’t mark any episodes/movies as watched. Not even after literally watching it, neither clicking on “mark as watched”. It’s stuck for a week already. I tried triggering it some times before downloading the logs, so it’s easy (for who knows how this work) to spot the error…

I updated the docker, optimized db, rebooted server… nothing worked.

Please disable “Verbose” logging. It only serves to fill up your log files prematurely, causing them to wrap around far too early.  
Standard [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) is plenty.

Your server database is damaged:

As a reminder, multiple people are seeing this issue on multiple clients, and I can report at least my database has no errors.

That’s a wholly different issue then.

If it’s a different issue, can you go back and un-close [BUG: Watched flag automatically cleared when scanning, can't set or unset](https://forums.plex.tv/t/bug-watched-flag-automatically-cleared-when-scanning-cant-set-or-unset/884482) where I reported the issue, reproducible on multiple clients, with a video example?

It was closed because there was already a thread about it. Which you have linked yourself.
